Good for you @merilee for getting walking again. Length of distance is all relative. A long distance is one step further than yesterday and knowing when it is enough. I hope you'll share the things that spring starts to show you as you go on your walks. Yes, spring is coming even to Wisconsin. 🙂
Being nervous about an upcoming test or scan is totally normal. Did you know that patients coined the phrase "scanxiety"? Have you ever heard anyone say that?
"Scanxiety" is my new favorite word!
How can we get spell check to accept it?
You both deserve a hug!

This has been a long month, I have got a heck of a cold, coughing, spent a day in the hospital, took the medicine and still have this bad cold. They did a cat scan, my cancer's have grown some. My right lung has one "cancer" fairly close to my (arota). Will see my oncologist on May 3rd. And I had to have my eyes tested, New glasses, will pick them up on Tuesday. My have to see a doctor in "urgent care". Some times it seems as though every thing happens at once. Very depressed today. Had my birthday last Sunday(84) and today is my "baby daughter turned 60. Life goes on! (shortshot80)
Hi Nancy, I'm sorry to hear that you've had a tough month. Happy belated birthday to you and happy birthday to your 60-year young baby girl today. Will you be celebrating together today?
No, she lives about 80 miles away. She was here yesterday, so visited a little. Her two daughters had her leave the house so
they could decorate the place for her party last night. I'm sure that lots of her friends were there. We could have gone, but it is a long
ride for my husband of 66 years. Really me too. Most any rides of any miles require a night at a motel. I have been sick with a cold or something for the past three weeks, I did not even celebrate my birthday. (84) I did spend one day in the hospital, with all kinds of tests and cat scan. So I even received a copy of the results of the cat scan. Wasn't very good, showed some growth of both cancers and some kidney problems too. Hopefully better days ahead! (shortshot80) Nancy
